Oz in full flow!
This new event for me had all the hallmarks of some good products for people to taste and to start getting their thinking caps on for Autumn and Christmas!
Originally, I was scheduled to be on the Wines of Chile stand, showing our exquisite LFE Seleccion de Familia Carmenere that we sell into Asda, but Wines of Chile withdrew from the event. Our French producer Advini had got involved, so, I helped on Sunday to show some of their wines. A few are available in Morrisons.
But Oz, Tim & Olly were there. Tasting, cajoling, and generally getting people tasting and find out more details on wines. The event was quite well attended and tasters were treated to some World Class products.
As mentioned, I was showing wines from our Sud de France producer, Advini, who operate from Languedoc Roussillon.
Plenty of interest shown in the Maison de Languedoc AOC Picpoul de Pinet 2010, and the Ormarine Picpoul de Pinet AOC 2010 found in Loch Fyne restaurants.
There was also some wines from our Argentinian producer…Callia. Please see previous blog, and photo below. Great interest again in the Torrontes.
The Superb Reservado Torrontes
It was fairly steady throughout the day, and I had some very interesting questions from attendees. In particular, about how retailers market/sell their wines.
Please see photo below, the wines on the Advini table:
Maison du Languedoc wines
